Vomiting is never normal but it does happen fairly often to kittens. The most common cause of vomiting is eating too much food. Some kitten are just greedy, they eat more than they need. Kittens also vomit because they ate something that they normally don't get ( eating human food, scrapes, scavenging in general). Shadow's problem should settle down by itself. You should withhold food for Shadow for 4-5 hrs and then offer very small amounts every 1-2hrs. He also should be offered only small amounts of water as drinking plenty of water will probably trigger another vomit. Some kittens may vomit because of intestinal worms or gut infections. In that case, they often develop diarrhea, become lethargic and go completely off food. If your Shadow is showing these symptoms, you should take him to your local vets for a check.

Hello. I am sorry that Shadow isn't feeling well. If he is having runny stools and vomiting, a kitten that small can get dehydrated very quickly. If he isn't eating and is weak then it is very important for him to see a vet right away in order to make sure he isn't severely dehydrated. If the vomiting continues you will need to have him to a vet as well. He could have a virus, a severe worm burden, or an obstruction. If he will still eat and play well, the first step would be to get him dewormed, as the diarrhea and vomiting could be from worms. If you can get him checked by a vet that would be the best thing for Shadow. Best of luck with him!

You can go to any pet store or even wal mart to get a dewormer for cats. Make sure it contains praziquantel as this covers tapeworms also. You can also get a feline probiotic to start mixing in the food to help with the diarrhea. Try to get him to keep water or chicken broth or tuna juice in him to help him stay hydrated until you can take him to. Avet in Monday for further care
